Popis: Foil specimens of Haynes 230, Hastelloy X, Inconel 718, and Inconel 625 of 4.5 mil (∼113 μm) thickness were oxidized in wet hydrogen for several hundred hours at temperatures between 700 and 1100°C. Chromia was determined to be the predominant oxide phase in the scales of these alloys, consistent with the results of a previous study 1 of these alloys in air, as shown using X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis. The oxidation kinetics of all the alloys, investigated by thermogravimetry, in a wet hydrogen atmosphere exhibited parabolic behavior. Haynes 230 and Hastelloy X exhibited the slowest oxidation kinetics of all the alloys studied. Further, the oxidation kinetics of all the alloys were faster at 800°C in a wet hydrogen atmosphere compared to oxidation in air at 800°C. However, the oxidation kinetics of these alloys in a wet hydrogen atmosphere were slower than those in air at 1100°C. The oxide scale formed in wet hydrogen exhibited a higher resistance than that formed in air. This result is attributed to the expected p-type conductivity of the oxide scales formed in both air and wet hydrogen.
